I loved it. I immediately recognized Harper Lee's writing, and liked the more nuanced story. May not be PC for 6th grade, which is when I read it. If this had gotten more editing (I read HL insisted it go out with minimal editing) it would reach similar heights to TKMB. I will say, I found the ending, with the physicality, could have most improved with editing, IMHO. Like TKMB, when I finished the book, I really wanted to know what happens next for the characters.
